Research Notes on Buspar and Weight Gain
Weight gain is an infrequent side effect of BuSpar. In clinical studies, between one out of every 100 and one out of every 1,000 study participants reported an increase in weight while taking BuSpar. If you begin to experience weight gain while using BuSpar, contact your physician. You may be advised to adopt a healthier lifestyle, or your physician may recommend a different anti-anxiety medication.1
Fast Facts:
- Lifestyle changes your physician may recommend include a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet.1
- Weight loss was also listed as a relatively infrequent side effect of BuSpar.1
- Before changing medications due to weight gain, it is important to distinguish which medication is causing the problem. If you are taking other medications with BuSpar, your physician may determine that the other medications are contributing to the weight issue.2
